Strawberry Gum

Introducing our Strawberry Gum, a sweet surprise from the Australian bush in a convenient ground-leaf form. Strawberry Gum (Eucalyptus olida) is a rare eucalyptus native to the high country of the New England Tablelands in northern New South Wales, where it grows wild in rugged granite landscapes. Its leaves are prized for their remarkable fruity aroma, bringing a uniquely Australian sweetness to your kitchen.

Flavour Notes Bright and fragrant, Strawberry Gum opens with ripe strawberry and mixed berry, followed by hints of passionfruit and a warm, cinnamon-like spice. A gentle eucalyptus freshness lingers on the finish, without the medicinal sharpness of other gums.

Uses This versatile, all-natural ingredient shines in both sweet and savoury dishes. Fold it into cakes, biscuits and pastry, infuse it into cream, custard or syrups, or steep it as a caffeine-free tea. It also pairs beautifully with stone fruit, chocolate and dairy, and adds a fruity lift to glazes, dressings and cocktails.
